uKnowKids Tip Sheet: Our Kids Guide to Social Networking

Here are a few quick tips for kids:

• Avoid gossip. Everyone's bound to get a little excited by those oh-so-dramatic high school scandals, but that doesn't mean you have to text the latest rumor to everyone you know.
• Protect your space. Use privacy settings and don't accept just anyone as a friend. Do some investigating - who are they? Why would you hang out with them?
